(Quiz) Are You A Good Driver?

Quiz-summary

Information

Most drivers assume they’re great behind the wheel. But we’ve all seen enough speeding, swerving and just downright questionable behavior on the road to realize some people are deluding themselves.

“Public polls show that most Americans think they are above-average drivers, which technically is impossible,” says Jonathan Adkins, executive director of the Governors Highway Safety Association. “When we overestimate our skill level, we put not only ourselves, but others on the road at risk.”

You can avoid tickets and fender benders (or worse!) by honestly assessing your driving ability. If it has been a while since you’ve dusted off your driver’s ed manual, take our quiz to see if your skills are still up to par or if it’s time for a defensive driving course to sharpen your skills.

Question 1 of 7

1. Question

Which of these activities affect a driver’s ability to focus on the road?

Talking on a hands-free headset

Sending or reading text messages

Changing the radio station

All of the above

Correct

Just listening to conversation can substantially reduce the brain’s ability to process movement, according to the National Safety Council—and that’s what driving is all about. Distracted driving caused more than a quarter of fatal accidents in 2015, according to a NSC report, so save the calls, texts and sing-alongs for later.

One and a half

Three

You should count at minimum three seconds, according to many driving manuals, such as that of California’s Department of Motor Vehicles. If you’re feeling sluggish or the weather is bad, leave more space (counting to four or more seconds) to be safer.

Question 3 of 7

3. Question

You’re waiting to turn right at an intersection. The light turns green and you start to turn, but suddenly a pedestrian steps into the crosswalk. Who has the right-of-way?

The driver who has the green light.

The pedestrian in the crosswalk.

Correct

Pedestrians are protected in crosswalks. In many states, they also have the right-of-way in most scenarios, short of darting out suddenly into traffic, according to information on individual state laws complied by the National Conference of State Legislatures. Check state laws and give pedestrians plenty of space.

Question 4 of 7

4. Question

Rush hour traffic is a nightmare and you’re waiting at a backed-up intersection to go straight. The light turns green, but you can’t get through the intersection. What’s the best course of action?

Move into the intersection and wait. No honking!

Stay where you are until the intersection clears.

Move into the intersection only if you’re going straight.

Correct

Entering an intersection before traffic ahead clears, and staying there after the traffic light turns red is known as blocking the box, and states, cities, and counties have laws against it, such as Washington State. Even if you have a green light, wait until the intersection is clear to go.

5. Question

Mother Nature has unleashed a barrage of rain as you’re driving home from work. What should you do?

Turn on your headlights.

Slow down.

Stay clear of standing water on the roadway.

All of the above.

Correct

Turning on your windshield wipers is (hopefully) a no-brainer, and headlights will improve your visibility and make you more visible to others. Since you can’t judge the actual depth of water on a roadway, the National Weather Service urges you to turn back if the road is flooded.

I guess we all are above avg afterall if we’re all getting 100%, except the jerk that keeps me from driving 90mph in the left lane and i have to swerve 3 lanes right then 3 back left to get around the slower traffic when I clearly have an emergency and my lights flashing and you just sit in front of me, keeping me blocked in the left lane going 60 in a 70 bc everyone else is. Everyone should read that left lane is for passing article and if I’m ticketed for speeding then the law should be enforced to those just cruising along in the left lane like they own the world. And thats all I got to say about that-Tom Hanks as Forrest, Forrest Gump.

I guess, I did pretty good! I should be pretty good 64 years old about a discount! Haven’t had any accidents tickets or anything like That.
But in today’s world you have to have eyes behind your head. Because some people are just out there and they don’t know anything about signs are yeah it’s pretty scary! So you not only have to be cautious about you’re driving you have to watch the other drivers too❗️
